Whilst it’s good to have an information and data governance framework within an organisation, it is important to pay close attention to the components that make the framework technically secure. One of those key components include the role of intrusion detection system and intrusion prevention system.

An organisation has customers streaming through their online portal at about a thousand visitors per hours. These customers not only come to look at items that they would be interested in buying but also “favourite” items that they would come back to look at in the future. The organisation, however, fails to check for intrusion or create plans to prevent these intrusions when they do occur. As such, when a malware hits their network systems it not only stifles their daily operation it also affects revenue in that period.
